I sat in the car from Nanting County to Baxian Ridge, full of complaints. I've always hated this kind of volunteer activity, which is hard work and money. But I really couldn't refuse Han Jie's strong request, so I had no choice but to abandon my summer vacation plan to make money and go with her. And my complaint is not only dissatisfied with Han Jie's forced pull me to participate in this event, but also dissatisfied with another actor and arrogance in my peers.

"I've been involved in a lot of volunteer activities! What's it to pick up trash? I fought the flood the year before last! Zhu Xu said impassionedly, "The year before last, there was a big flood in Hunan, and the whole province called volunteers to fight the flood. I was the first to sign up for my school! Our group of volunteers were assigned to the worst affected areas, but at first we were only assigned to do some chores to resettle the victims. As soon as I saw it, I immediately applied to the leaders and asked to send me to the front line of flood fighting to fight with the PLA soldiers! ”

"Did they approve it?" Li Ting looked at her boyfriend nervously and asked at the right time.

"It wasn't allowed. But I have always insisted and continued to show my determination to the leader, and finally moved him! Zhu Xu's face was resolute and he clenched his fists, "I know why the leader hesitated, because he was afraid that I would have an accident and that he would not be able to bear this responsibility." So I said to him, 'Leader, this is my personal request, even if something happens, I will definitely not bother everyone!' I am willing to write a disclaimer and all the consequences are at my own risk! If I die in the rescue and flood fighting, it will also be my honor! ’”

Li Ting pulled Zhu Xu's clothes complainingly, frowned, and said, "Ah, how can you say such unlucky words?" ”

"It's okay! Isn't that all right for me? Zhu Xu comforted her with a smile, and continued to boast: "Later, I really went to the front line of flood fighting, and carried sandbags and built embankments with our lovely PLA soldiers!" When we're hungry, we'll take a bite of the steamed bun soaked in mud! When we are sleepy, we just lie on the mud and squint for a while! We fought for three days and three nights in a row before we finally withstood the flood peak! Saved the lives and property of millions of people! ”

"Wow! You're so good! Li Ting applauded, with a look of adoration.

Han Jie rolled her eyes at me, but she didn't want to say a word. Who did she roll her eyes to, I naturally understood. In fact, Han Jie was also very depressed this time, no wonder she had to take me with her. Originally, there were not many people who were willing to participate in this kind of activity, but Han Jie advertised it everywhere for half a summer vacation, and six people in the entire Nanting County signed up. Before leaving, there were two more no-shows, and they couldn't come with a phone call. Therefore, there are only four of us from Nanting County in this event.

It's okay if there are few people, but this Zhu Xu is a person who likes to be in the limelight. He is about to enter his senior year this year, and he wants to save some internship experience before he graduates and looks for a job, so he signed up with his girlfriend. As soon as we met today, he wanted to take advantage of me and Han Jie, and insisted that we call him senior brother, because he was two years older than us. The two of us are too lazy to take care of him, he graduated from Nanting No. 1 Middle School, we graduated from No. 2 Middle School, and the university is not in the same school, or senior brother? There's a yarn relationship in this, huh?

Of course, without Han Jie saying it, I can also see what Zhu Xu is thinking. He likes to be in the limelight so much, and he still has to listen to Han Jie's command, which is naturally unhappy! Along the way, he began to brag about how experienced he was with this kind of volunteer activity. Obviously, she just wants Han Jie to take the initiative to let Xian and give him this small position in charge!

But he has to have a limit to bragging, right? I saw that Han Jie looked very helpless, and wanted to refute him, but it was inconvenient to scold him directly, so I stepped forward to protect the beauty, ready to pierce Zhu Xu's cowhide.

"I'm just curious to ask," I said to Zhu Xu, "You carried sandbags for three days and three nights, can you remember how many bags you carried in total?" ”

Zhu Xu saw that I was so "acquainted" and praised, so he was naturally willing to continue performing. He said triumphantly: "I definitely won't count the specific number of bags, but I estimate that there should be a thousand bags!" ”

I was "taken aback" and said, "A thousand bags? You're amazing! ”

"Ok! Not bad! Hehe" Zhu Xu waved his hand very "modestly", and continued to add fuel and vinegar: "Some PLA soldiers are better than me, and one person can carry two thousand bags!" So, I heard that he made a first-class merit when he went back! ”

I nodded and said, "The PLA soldiers must be amazing!" But Zhu Xu, you can do it, you carried a thousand bags of sandbags for three days and three nights, uh...... Let me do the math first...... A thousand bags, the average sack is fifty catties, and a thousand sacks are fifty catties! Converted to kilograms, that's 25,000 kilograms! Converted to tons, that's twenty-five tons! ”

"Wow!" I was "shocked" and shouted: "Zhu Xu, you have moved all the cargo capacity of five Dongfeng trucks by yourself?" ”

Zhu Xu's smile suddenly became a little reluctant, but he still laughed dryly twice, and said, "Hehe, it's okay, anyway, it's a long time, three days and three nights, and it should be able to finish moving......"

I took out my phone again, turned on the calculator function, and muttered, "A thousand bags...... Three days and three nights...... 1000 divided by 3 equals 333.3. That's 333 bags a day! If you count it by the hour, 333.3 divided by 24 equals 13.8. That's an average of almost fourteen bags in an hour! If you count it in minutes, 60 divided by 13.8 equals 4.3. Wow! Zhu Xu, even if you don't eat or drink for three days and three nights, you have to carry a bag every four and a half minutes? Terrible! Terrible! It's an iron man! ”

Zhu Xu listened to me read while calculating, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and finally he couldn't even keep the embarrassing smile. On the contrary, Li Ting couldn't listen to it anymore, she defended her boyfriend and said: "Hmph, Zhu Xu also said just now, he didn't count specifically, just a rough estimate!" Besides, the sandbag must be fifty pounds? Isn't it okay to have a small sandbag? ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhu Xu hurriedly helped, "Maybe I estimate too much, but there are always eight or nine hundred bags!" The bag is not as much as fifty pounds, and it may ...... Ten pounds! I carry four bags at a time! ”

"Can a ten-pound sandbag prevent flooding?" I questioned again. At this time, Han Jie poked me with her elbow and interrupted: "People say they can!" So what's the real deal? ”

I tacitly accepted it and said, "Yes, small sandbags can be used to plug gaps between large sandbags!" Anyway, Zhu Xu, you are good! ”

Zhu Xu smiled very reluctantly, and stopped talking, not daring to beep any more along the way. I turned my head to look at Han Jie, who leaned her head on the back of the chair, used me as a cover, and smiled secretly. I pinched her nose and wanted to laugh, but I could only hold back.

When our car arrived at the foot of Baxian Ridge, we first went to a guest house to sign in. Then, the organizing committee arranged for the two of us to share a room, and let us rest for one night before going up the mountain the next day. I wanted to take this opportunity to share a room with Han Jie, I can't make money by working hard here, and it's worth it to get some nephrite warm incense. But Han Jie had been guarding against me for a long time, using the small power of the person in charge to separate the boys and girls, and let me go to sleep in the same room with Zhu Xu.

That Zhu Xu was also very dissatisfied with this arrangement, and complained as soon as he entered the room. I'm on the same front with him in this regard. I asked him, "Why didn't you raise an objection just now?" Aren't you and Li Ting boyfriend and girlfriend? ”

"Of course it is!" Zhu Xu shouted.

When he said this, I could actually see that he was weak-hearted. Later, I inquired from the side, and it turned out that the two of them had just confirmed their relationship, so he pulled Li Ting to participate, and he had the same idea as me.

In any case, there is no way to change the room once it is arranged. Tomorrow I have to go hiking and pick up garbage, so I washed up early and went to bed. Zhu Xu was still there unwilling to fail, and called Li Ting fiercely, thinking that he had other plans. But Li Ting's side was probably tired and refused to come out, so Zhu Xu had to give up.

Zhu Xu, this guy, in addition to being arrogant, is still a talker. When he saw that I had just talked to him for a while, and had the same purpose, he wanted to come and talk to me. Let's talk about yarn!

I put the quilt on my head, rolled over and went to sleep. Zhu Xu nagged for a while, and finally stopped when I was about to lose my patience. Then, the nagging turned into a snort!

Nima! I'm really convinced! And such people? Hypnotizing yourself with self-talk?

I got up early the next morning to gather, and as soon as Han Jie saw me, she asked, "Why did you go last night?" How did you draw a pair of panda eyes? ”

I snorted, "It's all you!" Shove that nagging ghost into my room! I strongly urge to change my room tomorrow night, even if you draw me a 38 line! I promise, I will never dare to cross over and harass you! ”

Han Jie giggled violently and said, "Don't think about this, after we go down the mountain this afternoon, this activity will be over, and then we will return to Nanting County immediately." The organizing committee didn't have the extra money to ask us to stay an extra night. ”

I groaned, furious and helpless at her ruthless calculations.

Whether it's thinking carefully or flirting or scolding, you still have to participate in the next business. The leaders of the organizing committee called us to talk nonsense first, then shook hands and took a group photo, and only then did they start to distribute equipment and supplies. There are three types of equipment, a green vest, a sanitation garbage clip and a large garbage bag. In addition, everyone received some dry food and water. Han Jie, as the leader of our group, also received an additional road map.
